Frustration with a Capital “F”
November 10th, 2009 § 1 Comment
Dear Wedding Venue Person Who Is Not Calling Me Back:
I have waited for one week for you to follow-up to our last conversation. You said you would send information “right over” and we now find ourselves 8 days later and I am still waiting for that email.
Now I can understand how one would think that after 18 years of dating, 8 days seems nominal in comparison. Afterall, I have made it through 31 years of life waiting for this day to come…what are 8 more, right?
Well here is the thing Wedding Venue…if you knew who I was marrying you would understand my impatience.
I’ve trudged through my share of losers, jerks and douchbags. I’ve gone on many bad dates- one where the guy actually got so drunk he passed out at dinner. I have invested countless hours in painstaking ”get to know you” conversations, only for them to be for nothing. I have been through bad breakups and I have done things I am not proud of in relationships…so you see, I have done my time.
I’ve also given out my number before and waited for the phone to ring. So you see, I am no stranger to sitting by the phone willing it to ring, waiting for that one person you want more than anything in the world to call. And right now Wedding Venue-that person is you.
After all these years Wedding Venue, I finally found my person. He makes me feel like Christmas morning-you know that feeling you get of excitement and warmth early in the morning? He makes me feel like my grandma’s house did-safe and warm and loved unconditionally. He is that one person I never get sick of talking to-even in the moments when we sit and say nothing I still feel like we had the most important conversation. This is my person, Wedding Venue and now all I want to do is marry him.
So you see Wedding Venue, I need you to call me back because this is the person I am supposed to feed the ducks with at the lake on a bench when I’m 80. This is the person I want to wake up next to every day for the next 60 years and I cannot start that journey until we find the perfect place to begin our lives together. Wedding Venue you are that perfect place…except that you seem to not understand how important it is that you call us back. I know you are busy planning weddings, because so are we. But we need you to call us back so we can set our date, tell our families and so I can spend the next 11 months imagining the day over and over until the day actually comes. So please, save us from jumping off the ledge and going to the courthouse or eloping to Niagara Falls because I have already spent so much time imaging our wedding with you.
Great article! Why don’t you call the venue again in case your information was “misplaced”. Or perhaps call back and ask to speak to the manager- maybe that will get the ball rolling faster.
